[QUOTE="SRL, post: 264344, member: 701"] My oldest child was like a typical teen from preschool age onward and once I realized and accepted that about his temprament it made dealing with him a lot easier. Interactions, communication style, being embarrassed about parents, etc. were all right out of the typical teen playbook through all of his elementary years. When I asked what happened at preschool that day he would shrug and say "nothing" so I finally resorted to putting it on a job chart and paying him. A few times teachers talked to me about how he was behaving and I told them to approach him like a teenager and once they did that the light bulbs went off and they knew what to do. There were some pretty frustrating times along the way but in his case he actually improved with age and communicates with me more now as a teenager. Go figure. :hairy: [/QUOTE]
